Song Yi

Chapter 249 Lin Jieyu

Lin Jieyu took it and opened it, and saw three small gray-black pills inside, put it in front of her nose and smell it, there was only a faint medicinal fragrance.Lin Jieyu pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and said, "It turns out that my sister really has a treasure in her possession. Why didn't you give it to my sister earlier?"

"Look at what you said, this is a kind of pill prepared by Mrs. Du of the Imperial Hospital. He just gave it to me a few days ago. He said that this pill can relieve pain if you are sick, and beautify your face if you are not sick. By the way, it can also help you sleep. .I just got it, and I don’t know how it will work, so I didn’t send it to you.”

After hearing this, Lin Jieyu was very curious, picked up the brocade box and looked at it carefully, and said, "This Mr. Du, is that Mr. Du Wenhao, the judge of the Supreme Hospital that my sister often mentioned to me?"

"Exactly." Speaking of the Grand Hospital, Concubine De suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, I heard you say a few days ago that your mother was ill. How are you feeling better these few days?"

Lin Jieyu's mother that Concubine De was referring to was actually Jieyu's adoptive mother, surnamed Feng.She was the concubine of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty.Feng's grandfather used to be the Minister of the Ministry of War.Feng entered the palace at the age of nine.After growing up, he was favored by Song Renzong and gave birth to two daughters.

Song Renzong granted Feng the title of "Lord of Shiping County". Later, the late emperor intended to further confer her, but this Feng was indifferent to fame and fortune, unwilling to accept the canonization, and refused to worship her.So until the death of Song Renzong, Feng was still just a Shiping Junjun.

The harem concubine system in the Song Dynasty was relatively chaotic, with several levels.

Generally speaking, those who have just entered the palace are entitled "Shiyu" and "Hongxiapei", and after further progress, they are named "Jun", and the titles of the monarchs are different.

Feng's "Shiping Junjun" is one of them. If you go up, you can be promoted to "talented person", then you can be promoted to "beauty", and then you can be promoted to "Jieyu".

There are also Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Xiuyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Chongyuan, Wanrong, Wanyi, Shunrong, Guiyi and other names.

Then there is the concubine level, including noble concubine, virtuous concubine, de concubine, Shu concubine, and Chen concubine.

The top class is the queen.

Therefore, Feng's "Shiping Junjun" can be regarded as a very low beauty title.However, the Feng family is the late emperor's woman, who gave birth to two daughters for the late emperor, so although the title is not high, the status in the harem is still relatively high.

After Lin Jieyu gave birth to two princes, she soon fell out of favor.She was weak, and the two princes were still young. Seeing that her mother and child were pitiful, Feng Shi helped take care of the two children, caring for them as if they were her own.

Lin Jieyu was grateful and worshiped Feng as her adoptive mother.

Lin Jieyu said: "After all, my mother is getting old, and she always has minor illnesses. She was sick a few days ago, and the imperial doctor came to see her. She prescribed a lot of medicine, but she didn't get better. Sigh, seeing her sickness, we were anxious, but Can't help either."

Concubine De couldn't help feeling emotional, and said: "Yes, it's really hard for you."

After talking for a while, Lin Jieyu left with the small box of medicine.

Noon on the second day.

Lin Jieyu came to Shengrui Palace to play.

Concubine De was playing in the back garden with her three children. Seeing Lin Jieyu walking towards her with a smile on her face, it was almost impossible to see this icy beauty pursing her lips and smiling. How could she laugh today? Like a flower, she greeted her with a smile and said, "My sister is so happy today, what is the happy event?"

But Lin Jieyu didn't speak, she pulled Concubine De to sit down on a stone bench in the shade of a willow tree, looked left and right to see no one else, and said in a low voice, "Sister, when will I let my sister see the judge of the Supreme Hospital's court?" Master Wen Haodu?"

After hearing this, Concubine De giggled: "Why is my younger sister interested in Lord Du? He is a man with a family."

"Sister, you're joking!" Lin Jieyu smiled, took out the brocade box given by Concubine De yesterday from her bosom and opened it, and there was a pill missing in it.Lin Jieyu said: "Last night I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. I remembered what my sister said, so I ate one. Who would have thought that I would fall asleep without a cup of tea, and I would sleep until dawn! Sister, you said you were insane." ! So, I want to make an appointment to see Dr. Du."

Concubine De deliberately teased her with a smile: "The genius doctor is busy. The Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Empress, and a bunch of people are waiting for him to see a doctor. There are not many free days, and I don't know if I can make an appointment."

Lin Jieyu sighed: "Yeah, I know that too, actually... I came to him to ask him if there is any way to cure my mother's illness."

Concubine De stopped laughing immediately, and asked with concern: "Why, the old man's condition has not improved?"

Lin Jieyu nodded, and said: "Exactly, this morning, when I went to my mother's bedroom, I happened to meet the imperial doctor Wu Qiming from the Grand Hospital of the Imperial Hospital who was treating my mother. Imperial physician Wu left, and my mother said that her condition had not improved. , and now I can't even eat. Physician Wu is also helpless.

Seeing that my mother was getting worse and worse, I was very anxious, so I thought about it and came to my sister. I heard that you have a good relationship with Mr. Du, so I want to ask my sister to help me make an appointment, and ask Mr. Du to see my mother. "

Concubine De wondered: "Look at what you said, Mrs. Du is a judge of the imperial hospital, and was ordered to serve the doctor in the harem. You are Jieyu, and you are also in the scope of serving the doctor. Isn't it enough to just assign him? Why bother to let me tell you? "

"Didn't my sister also say that Mr. Du is busy serving doctors in the harem? I heard that there is no free time these days. Except for the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the empress and all the concubines, as long as the others are not urgent, they have to queue up to find him. .It's really going to be a turn, who knows when it will be. Seeing that my mother's condition is getting worse day by day..."

Concubine De didn't dare to joke anymore, she took her slender hand and patted it lightly as a sign of comfort, and said: "Don't worry, sister, I'll send someone to find him right away, and ask him to come and see the old man as soon as possible."

In the evening, Concubine De came to Yueqing Palace, and said to Lin Jieyu apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Mrs. Du has been busy seeing Chen Meiren for the past two days. He said he wanted to come, but he can’t come for the next two days.”

Lin Jieyu forced a smile: "It's okay, thank you sister."

Concubine De was also very embarrassed, thought for a while, and said: "Why don't you talk to Chen Meiren and ask him to give Mrs. Du a half-day vacation."

Lin Jieyu bit her lip lightly, and said, "Well, okay."

------------

Tianyan Palace, the bedroom of the emperor's favorite Chen Meiren.

Du Wenhao has been treating Chen Meiren in the palace for the past few days.

Recently, Chen Meiren always feels tired and doesn't think about tea and food. This is so anxious to the Lord Long Live that she ordered Du Wenhao to serve as a doctor.

Du Wenhao was ordered to go, and according to the rules, he was separated by a thin white gauze.After an examination in the tent, it was found that Chen Meiren was suffering from an external cold, and she must have caught a cold after playing happily in the emperor's boudoir.sidewalk:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. It's just that the weather has changed day and night recently. It's cold and hot. It's probably because of some wind and cold, so it's lost its taste. Take a few medicines to regulate the stomach and you'll be fine."

Chen Meiren said lazily: "But I don't have symptoms of a cold?"

"When wind evil enters the body, there are very few obvious symptoms at the beginning."

"Okay, if you say it's wind-cold, it's just wind-cold. How to get the medicine down here, you decide. ——I'm tired and weak, what's the best way?"

"Well, acupuncture and massage can relieve the pain. You can ask Xia Jiupo and other women doctors from the Women's Department of Tai Hospital to come and attend to the doctor." Du Wenhao answered honestly.

Chen Meiren lifted the white gauze curtain, and took a good look at him: "They? I can't believe it, so I don't have to make me sick. I still believe in you. These days, you have been in the emperor for a long time. Showing your face in front of you, there are too many doctors in the imperial hospital, and there are really few who can show your face like you. Forget it, if you don’t look for anyone else, it’s just you, give me acupuncture and massage.”

Du Wenhao bowed and said:

"Weichen..., this..., Weichen is not good at this."

"Really? I heard that your empress dowager's acupuncture treatment of abdominal pain during menstruation is very effective. Why did you come to this palace, and you can't do it?"

Du Wenhao felt a chill down his spine, and regretted all the time in his heart. He should have called Xia Jiu Po ​​to come with him, so as not to cause gossip.Want to leave, but can't find a suitable excuse.Busily said:
"How about I wait for the minister to call the imperial physician Xia Jiupo to assist the minister in treating the empress, I wonder if it is possible?"

"No need! The emperor asked you to serve the doctor in the harem. You are acting according to the order, and you are covered by the imperial order. What are you afraid of? Hurry up. You are not in a hurry. You are in a hurry. This whole body is tired, and there is something wrong with serving the emperor. Yes, can you afford it?"

Du Wenhao didn't dare to say any more when he heard that she was pressing people with a big hat.

Chen Meiren put down the gauze curtain, glanced left and right, and waved her hand. The maids and eunuchs all bowed and retreated, leaving only Du Wenhao in the room.

Chen Meiren lay down on the soft couch.This soft couch is only half a person's body long, so Chen Meiren's feet are raised up, which makes her more curvaceous.Turning his face sideways, he said to Du Wenhao: "Come in, give me a massage."

Du Wenhao's first reaction was that this girl must have a conspiracy!
She is now favored by the emperor, and any woman with a brain knows how to maintain the emperor's favor is the first priority at this time, and it is absolutely the most stupid behavior to have anything to do with other men at this time.However, Chen Meiren did this kind of behavior. The most appropriate explanation is not that Chen Meiren is stupid, but that she has ulterior motives!
But what is Beauty Chen planning?Du Wenhao turned his head several times quickly, then made a rough guess, and immediately felt a chill.

Chen Meiren: "Hurry up, why are you dawdling?"

Du Wenhao shook his head: Grandma, you asked for it yourself. The court ladies and eunuchs heard it just now, and you let me in to give you acupuncture and massage. Besides, you have the support of the empress dowager and others behind you. I have a good impression of myself, as long as I have a sense of propriety, and the imperial doctor massages, it can always be justified.

Thinking of this, Du Wenhao bowed and agreed, took out the black gauze scarf that was ready for use at any time from his arms, and covered his face tightly, only his mouth was exposed.Then he reached out to touch the white gauze curtain and opened it to enter.

When Chen Meiren saw it, she burst out laughing: "What are you doing? What are you doing wearing a black scarf?"

Du Wenhao said loudly: "The body of the empress is ten thousand, how could a humble minister be abrupt. Therefore, when I give the empress a massage, I must cover my face with a black scarf."

"What are you doing so loudly? Huh, no need! Don't you doctors often say something called 'the heart of a doctor'? Then this palace is your relatives and family members. What doubts and scruples do you have? Pull off the black scarf quickly. Bar."

"I don't dare, the empress is the master, and the humble minister is the minister. The courtesy of the emperor and the minister cannot be broken, which is different from the heart of the parents of the doctor. The humble minister must not dare to be rude to the empress."

Chen Meiren sighed and said, "Okay, then you can do it."

According to the memory of Chen Meiren's appearance before the mask, Du Wenhao cautiously stretched out his hand and touched Chen Meiren's fragrant shoulder, wanting to locate the fragrant shoulder first, so that it would be more accurate to locate the acupuncture points according to the position of the shoulder.

Du Wenhao tentatively stretched out a finger, and carefully touched it according to his previous memory. Sure enough, this time it happened to touch Chen Meiren's fragrant shoulder, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Based on this, he positioned it, acupunctured the acupuncture point, and then massaged it. massage.

Traditional Chinese medicine massage is an important treatment method. The modern massage method mastered by Du Wenhao is 1000 years more advanced than that of the Song Dynasty. Many acupoint massage techniques and effects are not comparable to those of the Song Dynasty doctors. She turned her face and said in a tired voice: "It's really good. I didn't expect that your massage technique is so good. Come and teach me tomorrow. I will give the emperor a massage to relieve his fatigue. The emperor will definitely be happy."

"My minister takes orders." Du Wenhao absent-mindedly agreed.

Chen Meiren smiled and said, "Lord Du, I heard that you don't take concubines, do you?"

Du Wenhao said: "Yes."

"Do you want to accept it?"

"This..." After hesitating for a moment, he said in a low voice: "We have just got married, so let's talk about taking concubines later."

Chen Mei said: "Lord Du, you can be regarded as an important minister who is highly valued by the emperor. Look at our Song Dynasty, if there is a family with some influence, who doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Is there no suitable one? Or, Ben The palace will lead you a thread. The maids in my palace are all carefully selected from all over the world. If there are talents, there must be talents and looks. I will let them come over later, you choose one The two of you will go back to be concubines as a thank you for treating Ben Gong. What do you think?"

Du Wenhao was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed with a smile, "I appreciate your empress' kindness, but I really don't want to accept a concubine. Please forgive me, my empress."

Chen Meiren snorted, and said sweetly: "You men, you are all duplicity! Say no to it, and when you see a beautiful girl, your eyes won't turn... Hehehe"

Du Wenhao didn't dare to respond, his face was a little hot, fortunately his face was covered with a black scarf, so the other party couldn't see his embarrassment.

Chen Mei said humanely: "Forget it, you go back and discuss it with your wife first, and say that it is my palace's idea. An important minister, who has no three wives and four concubines, will not make people laugh if you say it! You know, he is not only a joke. You, my lord, also laughed at our masters for being incapable of human beings, and for not knowing how to be considerate of inferior sentiments."

Du Wenhao's head was a little dazed, why did he always encounter such things, he could only smile wryly in his heart.

For several days after that, Du Wenhao gave her acupuncture and massage in Chen Meiren's bedroom.

After taking medicine, acupuncture and massage, Chen Meiren recovered quickly, but she always said that it was uncomfortable or that, so she would not let Du Wenhao go, and asked Du Wenhao every time if he had discussed the matter of taking a concubine.Du Wenhao answered honestly that he still didn't want to take a concubine, and Chen Meiren tried her best to persuade him to take a concubine for the sake of face and appearance.

On this day, when Du Wenhao was massaging, Chen Meiren brought up this topic again, and Du Wenhao had no choice but to be a muffled gourd.

Chen Meiren's mouth was dry, but Du Wenhao still remained silent. Chen Meiren got up, pulled off the black scarf on his face, stared at him and said, "Hey! Do you agree or not? Here Words!"

Du Wenhao said indifferently: "Forgive me."

Chen Mei said humanely: "Are you arguing with me? Okay, call in all the women in the palace who are under the age of 20!"

"Yes!" The maid agreed and went out.After a while, more than [-] girls came in, bowed their heads and stood with their hands down.
